Combining these with Rydberg atoms have opened up many possibilities for various applications. We introduce a theoretical model to study Rydberg-EIT and Rydberg-EIA effects in cold Cs and Rb atomic ensembles in a four-level ladder type scheme taking into account van der Waals type interactions between the atoms. The proposed many-body method for analysis of such systems involves a self-consistent mean field approach and it produces results which display a very good agreement with recent experiments. Our calculations also successfully demonstrate experimentally observed EIT-EIA cross-over in the Rb case. Being able to simulate the interaction effects in such systems has significant importance, especially for controlling the optical response of these.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method(TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, YusufIn this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Reactive Wetting of Metallic/Ceramic (al/Α-al2 O3 ) Systems: a Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2020) Aral, GürcanThe reactive wetting process of a flat solid alumina (?-Al2 O3) ceramic surface by metallic aluminum (Al) nanodroplets with different shapes (spherical, cylindrical, and layer) is studied using parallel molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on a variable charge MD method, with focuses on heat transfer, mass transfer, and the structure of the reactive region at the Al/?-Al2 O3 interface. We find that the diffusion of oxygen (O) atoms from the substrate into the droplet leads to the formation of a continuous layer of reaction product at the interface. The diffusion length of oxygen atoms into the spherical Al droplet is found to be ~7.3 Å, and the number density of O atoms at the ~5 top layers of the substrate decreases substantially. As a result, the structural correlations near the reactive region differ considerably from those in the solid substrate. Heat generated by the exothermic reactions in the reactive region is transferred to both the substrate and the droplet. The heat transfer is found to be sensitive to droplet shape.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Local Vibrational Modes of Natural Isotopes of Substitutional Oxygen in Cdte(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2020) Tarhan, Enver; Ramdas, Anant K.We investigated the localized vibrational modes (LVM) of natural oxygen containing ${}^{16}O,\;{}^{17}O$ and ${}^{18}O$ isotopes at a substitutional tellurium site in cadmium telluride using infrared absorption spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. The main absorption peak observed at 350 cm ?1 was formerly attributed to a fundamental LVM mode (?0) of oxygen at a tellurium site. The relatively weak absorption peaks observed at 331 $cm^{-1}$ and 340 $cm^{-1}$ are assigned as the same $\nu_0$ mode of the ${}^{17}O$ and ${}^{18}O$ isotopes, respectively, based on their relative intensities and spectral positions. The spectral positions were confirmed with theoretical calculations using a linear chain model where the peak position at 350$cm^{-1}$ was taken as the reference for the ${}^{16}O$ isotope. From a least square analysis of the observed peak positions we were able to calculate the force constants from perturbation theory. A Lorentzian line shape analysis of each $\nu_0$ absorption peak, considering the effects of isotopic mass and natural abundance variations of the host Cd atoms, was also carried out to further confirm their assignments. Reasonably good line shape fittings were obtained for $\nu_0$ modes of all isotopes of oxygen.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Graphene Quantum Dots With Two Charged Vacancies(Elsevier, 2020) Kul, Erdoğan Bulut; Polat, Mustafa; Güçlü, Alev DevrimElectronic and magnetic properties of a system of two charged vacancies in hexagonal shaped graphene quantum dots are investigated using a mean-field Hubbard model as a function of the Coulomb potential strength ? of the charge impurities and the distance R between them. For ?=0, the magnetic properties of the vacancies are dictated by Lieb's rules where the opposite (same) sublattice vacancies are coupled antiferromagnetically (ferromagnetically) and exhibit Fermi oscillations. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of a non-magnetic regime within the subcritical region: as the Coulomb potential strength is increased to ??0.1, before reaching the frustrated atomic collapse regime, the magnetization is strongly suppressed and the ground state total spin projection is given by Sz=0 both for opposite and same sublattice vacancy configurations. When long-range electron–electron interactions are included within extended mean-field Hubbard model, the critical value for the frustrated collapse increases from ?cf?0.28 to ?cf?0.36 for R<27Å. © 2020 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10The Comparison of Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy Measurements of Pulsed Electron Deposited Zno Thin Film for Air and Vacuum Ambient Conditions(Elsevier, 2019) Özdoğan, Mehmet; Yiğen, Serap; Çelebi, Cem; Utlu, GökhanPhotoconduction mechanism of ZnO thin films that produced by Pulsed Electron Deposition method is systematically investigated by taking Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy measurements for different atmospheres including high vacuum and air environments. Response and recovery rates of photocurrent in the air are faster than the rates in high vacuum condition. The results in the presented work clearly indicate that the photoconduction of ZnO thin films with high surface-area-to-volume ratio are surface-related and mostly governed by adsorption/desorption of oxygen and water molecules in the atmosphere. Therefore, the high surface interaction tendency of ZnO surface with the atmosphere inevitably leads to charge transfer from surface to adsorbates and/or vice versa.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Impact of Encapsulation Method on the Adsorbate Induced Electrical Instability of Monolayer Graphene(AVS Science and Technology Society, 2019) Kalkan, Sırrı Batuhan; Yanılmaz, Alper; Çelebi, CemMonolayer graphene transferred onto a set of silicon carbide (SiC) substrates was encapsulated with a thin SiO2 film in order to prevent its interaction with atmospheric adsorbates. The encapsulation of graphene samples was realized by using two different thin film growth methods such as thermal evaporation (TE) and state-of-the-art pulsed electron deposition (PED). The encapsulation efficiency of these two techniques on the structural and electrical characteristics of graphene was compared with each other. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that unlike the SiO2 thin film grown with PED, structural defects like cracks were readily formed on TE grown films due to the lack of surface wettability. The electronic transport measurements revealed that the electrical resistivity of graphene has been increased by two orders of magnitude, and the carrier mobility has been subsequently decreased upon the encapsulation process with the PED method. However, in-vacuum transient photocurrent spectroscopy (TPS) measurements conducted for short periods and a few cycles showed that the graphene layer encapsulated with the PED grown SiO2 film is electrically far more stable than the one encapsulated with TE grown SiO2 film. The results of TPS measurements were related to the SEM images to unravel the mechanism behind the improved electrical stability of graphene samples encapsulated with the PED grown SiO2 film.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental and Density Functional Theory Study on Humidity Sensing Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine (cupc)(IOP Publishing, 2019) Farzaneh, Amir; Esrafili, Mehdi D.; Okur, SalihThe quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was applied to investigate humidity sensing properties of a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film prepared by drop cast method. The humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of (CuPc) thin film was evaluated. The QCM and electrical measurements results showed that humidity sensing properties of CuPc is very sensitive to humidity changes and reversible adsorption/desorption performance which is an indicative of a good humidity sensor even at room temperature. Reproducible experimental results indicated that CuPc thin films have an abundant potential for humidity sensing applications at ambient temperature. According to the first-principle density functional theory calculations, the promising humidity sensing properties of CuPc can be attributed to the considerable charge transfer from the water molecule into Cu atom.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Oxide Shell Layer Influences on Size-Dependent Tensile and Compressive Mechanical Properties of Iron Nanowires: a Reaxff Molecular Dynamics Study(American Institute of Physics, 2019) Aral, GürcanThe systematic understanding of an overall deformation mechanism of metallic iron (Fe) nanowires (NWs) with the pre-existing oxide shell layer (Fe/FexOy) under various mechanical loading conditions is of critical importance for their various applications. Herein, we perform molecular dynamics simulations using ReaxFF reactive interatomic potential to systematically investigate the effect of the pre-existing oxide shell layer on the underlying intrinsic mechanical deformation mechanism and related mechanical properties of metallic [001]-oriented Fe NWs under both uniaxial tension and compressive loading. Three different diameters of the NWs are investigated to elucidate the size effect. The Fe NWs with the preoxide shell layer possess unique and intriguing mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms. In particular, the oxide shell layer with the combined effect of the diameter and the applied uniaxial loading mode dictates the strength and the overall stress-strain behaviors of the NWs. Interestingly, the oxide-coated NWs clearly exhibit the diameter-dependent elastic deformation intrinsic mechanism and related properties as compared to the pristine counterparts. Specifically, the pre-existing oxide shell layer expedites the onset of tensile plasticity by drastically reducing the tensile yield stress and significantly decreasing the tensile elastic limit. Contrary to the tensile loading, the presence of the oxide shell layer reduces or increases the compressive yield stress of the pristine Fe NW with respect to its diameter. However, the pre-existing oxide shell layer leads to a significantly delayed onset of compressive plasticity, that is, a significant increase in the compressive elastic limit.

In the present work, CZTS absorber layers were prepared following a two-stage process: firstly, a stack of metal precursors (Copper (Cu)/Tin (Sn)/Zinc (Zn)/Copper (Cu)) were deposited on molybdenum (Mo) substrate by magnetron sputtering, then this stack was annealed under S atmosphere inside a tubular furnace. CZTS thin films were investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of sulfurization time and the thickness of top and bottom Cu layer in precursors on the properties of CZTS thin films were investigated. The importance of Cu thickness adjacent to Sn to avoid detrimental phases was addressed. The significance of sulfurization time to restrict the Sn and Zn losses, formation of oxides such as fin dioxide and zinc oxide, and formation of molybdenum disulfide and voids between Mo/CZTS interface was also addressed. Moreover, cadmium sulfide buffer layer, which is conventionally used in CZTS solar cells, is replaced by an environmentally friendly alternative zinc oxysulfide buffer layer.
